Wrestlers used to show up all the time to. They had the best in house shop as well, replica belts, action figures.

This is what happens when influential nations change their tack: a wide ripple effect. The events of that era not only formed the backdrop for everyone at the time (7/7, the Bali and Madrid bombings etc), but the US's conduct divided politics in many nations around the world. It was an ugly era marked by war, and we all got subjected to more surveillance. I remember saying in like 2003 that 9/11 stuffed everything compared to the more peaceful and fun 90s. Tbh, my high point came between 2004-2006, but it was a personal high point. I was in my mid twenties and doing what I enjoyed, etc etc . The temper of the times was pretty poor; but I guess we weren't suffering, and it was kind of fun in a way to hate on Bush, Blair and Howard 😂. The 90s, however, was a more optimistic time.

Media consumption has changed a lot, we don't consume media linearly now like we did then. The big change for me over the past 23 years is really just how much more virtual our connections have become, and this was really spurred on by two main events - Facebook in around '04/'05 and the pandemic.

The thing is, times square looks completely different today compared to what it looked like in 2000. Plus, NYC is more rowdy, loud, and dangerous today. If you want to live life in a big city that less rowdy and dangerous, you should live in London. It's like NYC but it's in the UK in Europe.

America was truly at its peak. This is well before the effects of climate change, Reaganomics, and the cost of living crisis truly materialized.

Um, Reagan was president from 1981 to 1989, so Reagonmics occurred before this video. The real reason for the decline is because people started embracing clown world ideology. Most of this clown world ideology happened post 2012.

@@CalebSteele That's true, and I know all this corporate consolidation and deregulation started way before the late 90s- early 2000s. What I was saying was that the conditions, whether economic or social, was undoubtably better in the year 2000 when there were a lot less people living paycheck to paycheck and, not to mention, the world was unipolar with the United States being the undisputed superpower. Technology, financialization, corporate consolidation, and globalization hadn't got to the point where blue and white collar workers felt like they were getting squeezed, especially for young graduates trying to look for entry level positions. I look at how things are now for the average person, and life is definitely a lot more tough than back in the day. My comment was largely a callback to the simpler days where there was a real sense of financial, political and social stability even when the declining of our institutions was going on slowly behind the scenes. And also, can you clarify what you mean by clown world ideology and where do you think this came from if it this was the cause?

New York has completely changed since 2001 for the worse. I was a 28 year old artist/young professional from ATL living there that year for the experience. went back recently after 20 years for a visit and NYC is basically in full apocalypse. Nothing like the magical place I lived in from 2000-2002. And the "kinds" of people that you now see in the areas that were once beautiful, trendy, cool places in 2001 are people you don't want to associate with. just thousands of Hoodlums, non English speaking immigrants, or the young snobby culturally "lost" racists (social media generation) that think they're "hipsters" but will never really know what that truly means because they'll never know how to be open minded, independent, thinkers but just followers and copycats

That's unbelievable. There were no LED back then, at least for mass lighting, and even always overlit NYC and Times Square seem so cute. With all that crazy light pollution caused by LED NYC became impossible for me to live anymore. Half of the city and especially those blocks around Times Square are overlit like hell with all those crazy big screens. I wish I could return to those times in the video and take a walk during a rainy or snowy gloomy weather without any LED lamps lit on. Then, those walks were really enjoyable, now it's impossible even during daytime, let alone nighttime - everything blinds like hell. And there were also times without those especially nasty and blinding LED headlights. No wonder people had a mch better eyesight back then.
